Labour’s Bold Rental Reforms: Tackling Skyrocketing Prices & Eviction Issues in Ireland

Labour and Social Democrats Compete for Renters’ Support as Prices Rise

Labour and the Social Democrats are aiming to win over renters amid increasing housing costs. Both parties emphasize the need for reforms to protect renters in today’s market.

Labour Calls for Rental Property Standards

Labour has proposed implementing ‘NCT-style’ checks to ensure rental properties meet safety and quality standards. They also advocate for an end to no-fault evictions, which allow landlords to remove tenants without cause.

Reforming the Rental Market

Labour will work on reforming the rental market. They aim to create fairer conditions for both renters and landlords, focusing on stability and transparency.

Ambitious Housing Goals

Labour’s pledge to provide one million homes over ten years was recently labeled an ‘underestimate.’ This reflects their commitment to addressing housing shortages and improving living conditions for all.
